What are the risks of putting hydrocortisone on penis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Repeated use of Hydrocortisone can result in thinning of the skin and a predisposition to fungal infections. Talk to your DR about whatever it is you are trying to treat with the hydrocortisone. There may be a better option that does not have the same side effects.
